Lawrenceville's Astrid Ross Is 'An Asset To The Community'

Lawrenceville, GA — Without community leaders, Lawrenceville wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Zaida Abdushshakur, a Lawrenceville reader who nominated Astrid Ross.

How do you know the community leader?

I'm her daughter.

What does this community leader do?

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

My mother is a beacon of light in the community. With a lived experience of being a suicide loss Survivor, her passion for mental health has extended to all those she comes in contact with.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

One thing I know about my mother is her big heart for education, mental health and wellness. This makes her an asset to the community.
